Lynn, Thanks. I'll do that for corsets for sure. For stays, particularly close to the Regency style, I'll probably experiment with the grosgrain ribbon. Basically, I've got some experimenting ahead of me.

You won't have to worry about it any more. Let's see: Hedgehog Handworks sells them, as does Farthingale. I'm sure ther's a couple other places that do too (just in case you don't completely trust the grosgrain).
